Complete Psycho's

Dang. That is some crazy ####e...
I personally would be inclined to get some legal advice/action...
Good luck with it, and stay safe...

 

Destroy them. I mean it, destroy them. These are 2 individuals whom have had everyone they've come across show their bellies and just walk away. if you have all this documented info, then use it to the fullest extent of the law. They will probably just file bankruptcy and do the ol' chameleon carrier routine as long as they think they can get away with it. but at least you can put a stick in their eye. with the threats against your family? I'm hoping there is some legal action that you can take regarding that. with them being a business, it may be a different playing field than if it was a private matter, if that makes sense

 

I think I would be taking the proof down to the local police station and starting there. Whether or not to file harassment charges is up to you, but I would certainly make them aware.

 

Agreed. The local police is the first people I would make aware of the situation, long before I would contact a lawyer. For several reasons, among them if something happens they would be aware of the threats to you. Another strong reason is to keep others in the community safer by passing on the information about the unethical, aggressive owners.

 

file a police report, WITH the cop YOU KNOW, then seek legal advice on how to sue them, if that is even a possibility. i think, but cannot swear to it, using a device like emails, texts, phone calls to make threats is against FCC rules, so seek a REAL lawyer on this.

best of luck, keep us up to date?

one more thing, (at least here where i live) some scrap metal haulers are mob controlled...they could very well be thinking you are going to rat them out, of what you "may have seen"...

some have LOUSY safety records, ever see those trailers either stuck under an over pass, or scrap metal all over the roads? in the news and internet all the time.

they can also be sick and tired of your BS for calling them back again for a job.....and leaving again!!

if something ain't right the first time, it ain't gonna be right the second, third, fourth time.....leave them be, to maybe be shut down.

maybe they are trying to teach you a lesson to bug off from now on....

 

My ex and I had a similar incident before I went into trucking. I won't bore you with the details. It went on for a few days and I let it go until threats of bodily harm were made. That's when I went to the local PD. A report was made and the case assigned to a detective. Our cell records and those of the other party were subpoenaed. In the process, the other party was contacted by the detective which resulted in the other party ceasing contact with us. A few months later, the other party was formerly arrested for harassment and threatening bodily harm. It went to court and he pled guilty. He got time served (about 5 hours). A month of probation. And an order to make no contact with us for 5 years. We never heard from him again.

If you feel threatened, which it seems you do, take it to the cops. Hopefully, they'll do their job and nix this thing quickly.

 

As I said before. You only work for these
Companies when you ####ed up someplace
else and need to kill some time to clear
Your record.
That's how I ended up working under these conditions
Years ago.

That's why they think they can away with this stuff.
Where else you gonna go, whataburger, Burger King.
Almost all of these places are run by an older guy from the outlaw days who bought a few trucks.
You're supposed to take pride in running 800 miles a day and using two logbooks. That's their mentality.

I'm not far from you. I live in Jefferson Texas, 15 miles north of Marshall Texas, in the country.
I'm surrounded by these fleabag outfits out here.
It's 12 bucks an hour all day long driving dump trucks, log trucks, belly dumps whatever. Complete garbage wages.

400 to 600 a week all around me. If you want to go over the road you might get $.30 a mile out of these jokers.
I won't touch them, I work out of Dallas 180 miles away.

I tell people all the time, if you're going to change jobs, you better have three to $5000 in the bank. It might take months to find a decent trucking jobs.

I've been down this road you're on before, took me five months to find something decent, I literally went broke.
Stop this madness, take that ride up to Grand Prairie and put in an application at Poly. You'll have enough money in two years to buy your own truck.

If you are going to jump on one of these 1099 jobs, I would check the safety record first. The one I was with had a terrible safety record, it was so bad that we got pulled in at every scale, every day and they checked her log books. It sucked.

I don't know how you and your wife are surviving the circus, I would be going crazy.

 

Ok. You are experiencing what we call here in the South Terroristic threatening, Slander and a variety of other charges against the hostile parties.

Take everything you have saved as evidence and your complete situation and go talk to a detective.

The law will get things started.

You apparently have evidence of additional violations against yourself as a potential worker because I think there are not allowed to be threats made against your record or what have you. So that brings in the State Dept of Labor.

But first things first. Talk to your detective. Lay everything out on the table. There are more than several laws that has been broken and valid threats stand against yourself, family and home and so on. Those are laws that have been breached as well.

Bad guys don't know when to shut up. They are generally too stupid to stop digging. This WILL become a actual problem and threat that is valid when they finally decide they have had enough of you and move out against you, your home and family etc.

The use of text messaging, voice mails and so forth incurs yet another charge use of telecommuncations device in commission of a crime. Your detective will know where and how to start stacking charges against whom and so on.

When the Detective decides to move forward based on the evidence to the Prosecutor and so on things will get moving. You appear to have been injured by the threats so that's punitive damages. Your employment is affected so there is additional losses there in addition to punitive. You can possibly even see where this bad company will cause damages to the man you gave notice to and he raised your wages. That is the employer you want to stay with.

But because of all this, you are now in need of a detective, and a lawyer to process your situation and go from there in a court.

Noise and trash talking is one thing. But when they crossed several lines and started making threats or implied threats against you, your family and home and ability to be employed in the future it's not just a court problem but also a Labor Enforcement problem in the high side of whatever industry this is.

You best get things started with the detective and lawyer.

DO NOT whatever you do transmit outbound messaging in answer to their incoming texts, calls or what have you. Whatever continues to come in against your non answering silence you continue to turn into the detective and lawyer. The bad guys will probably continue to dig themselves deeper by these activities and threats against you. Its really important you do not respond at all to them. You gather information and evidence, make copies and turn it over to the lawyer, detective and ultimately the prosecutor.

DO be watchful. Your detective if any good at all, will put into the Police Department's computer a flag to keep a extra eye on you, your home address and so on. So if the bad guys DID follow through and hurt you, your home and your family then there will be enough to swear out a warrant and get them to jail where they will likely be for a long time. Not to mention civil action on your part alongside the criminal actions ongoing.

It gets bigger. You might have to draw up no contact, no trespass, protection orders and so on against the bad guys so that after that gets started whatever communications you continue to recieve from them is actually a more serious crime every time. Continue to collect, make copies and turn that into the detective and prosecutor and your lawyer.

Finally but not least. SHUT UP and get off the internet about this. You made a wonderful post with a very complete story. People will respond in a variety of ways. But do not be surprised if this particular thread is subponeaed and made part of the legal proceedings against the bad guys. ESPECIALLY if you have made comments or said bad things against them as companies. YOU might face suits of slander etc.

It's a mess. But you are in battle today. Get things started with your detective and find a lawyer and let him have everything you have as well.

When the courts get through with everything and punishments are handed out and taken care of you can come back and tell us how it went because it will be over and done with.

I personally have recieved threatening communications via text in the past, what I usually do instantly is turn that information plus origin phone number over to the Law. They have it on record at that point. All I need is a actual name from the bad guy to get things rolling against them.

I then change numbers. I change carriers and add applications or software to simply disallow anymore texts or phone calls from the now hostile numbers. The Law already has all that infromation up front so if my front door comes down and I have to blast the bad guy then all of that is there ready to go.

In my state people are not too bright. There is a whole stack of sentencing imposed against stupid people who make threats with a device for telecommunications usually. It's very common. All you have to do is present the evidence to the police station with names etc and they will arrange a formal hearing to determine if there will be formal charges brought against the hostile party and go from there.

 

That is crazy. I would see what your detective friend has to say about it first.

And make good use of your 2nd amendment rights...
